Do you see a bunch of files with really long names and extensions .msg and .db? You must reload the crontab.in file to get all the new cron scripts running at the right intervals. Of primary importance is qrunner which clears the messages waiting in qfiles.
This is documented in the UPGRADING file, which I know no one will read. Be prepared to answer this question over and over again. ;)
Does this mean that message delivery is not handled at all when the incoming mail is passed to mailman, and every message needs to wait for a cronjob to run ? I found the method used in 1.1 (try to deliver immediatelly, if it fails, the cronjob will handle it) much more appropriate, even though it often resulted in mail duplication (if the mail was handled the same time when the cronjob was run, it was sometimes delivered by both methods), which could have been fixed by some better locking mechanisom...
